New Reinforced Bimodulus O-rings Support Higher Weight, Speed

Fenner Precision Polymers’s Eagle XLD Bimodulus O-rings last up to six times longer than traditional O-rings with heavier loads running at higher speeds.

Reinforcement capability in the Eagle XLD removes the stretch issue commonly found in traditional O rings, so now it will last at least six to eight times longer.
Reinforcement capability in the Eagle XLD removes the stretch issue commonly found in traditional O rings, so now it will last at least six to eight times longer.

At PACK EXPO International, Fenner Precision Polymers, a Michelin Group Company and provider of reinforced polymer technology, launched its Eagle XLD Bimodulus O-rings. Most O rings are not reinforced and stretch out at fast rates. Depending on the weight of the load or the speed they’re running at, traditional O rings may last anywhere from three to six months, perhaps a little longer. This can result in significant downtime for a company, especially if it does not have the proper inventory.

“So, with Eagle XLD we were trying to take the performance attributes of a poly v conveyor which provides more load capability to help you achieve more long term life for relative weight and speeds, providing better performing product development,” said Derek Forney, senior product manager for Fenner’s belting division. “We added a reinforcement capability into the Eagle XLD which removed the stretch issue. So now it will last at least six to eight times longer. We estimate around two years at a very high load and at higher speeds, depending on the project.”
